Fit the device under test (DUT) to the test port using the method described below:
DO NOT use Teflon/PTFE tape on these connections, as this
will prevent correct sealing. The Gauge Adapter sealing system
is designed for hand-tight sealing up to 20,000 psi / 1,400
bar-wrenches or similar tools are not required — over
tightening can cause damage to threads or sealing faces.
Before connection, ensure that there is an O-ring fitted to the
test port.
Check that the sealing face of the device to be fitted is clean
and undamaged, as scratches or dents can form leak-paths.
The thread on the test port, and the lower part of the gauge adapters is
LEFT-HANDED. The following procedure details the correct method for
mounting devices using these adapters:
1. Screw the appropriate gauge adapter fully on to the instrument to be tested.
Figure 2-1. Screw on Gauge Adapter
2. Screw assembly down COUNTER-CLOCKWISE on to test port.
Hand-tight is sufficient; ensure that the bottom face contacts the O-ring on
the test port.
